[mythtv-users] Newbie question/help

[Paul Fitzmaurice]

I have 2 options.  The option that I am trying now involves a vga to ntsc
converter over wireless
(http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-Details.asp?sku=G1
26-1010)

My second option involves buying 100 feet of svideo cable to run from the
computer to the primary TV.  I just need to keep the svideo length below 300
feet.

Any thoughts/opinions/comments?

I don't know about those 900 Mhz keyboards, just remember how well your old
900Mhz cordless phone worked, and I'll guess you'll get about the same
performance, but maybe at a shorter distance, because analog voice signals
are much more forgiving of interference, and weak signal strength than a
digital keyboard signal would be.  I personally bought a Logitech Cordless
Nagivator Duo that works great for me, but i just use it at a max of 5 - 10
feet from the base receiver.  It comes with the wireless keyboard and mouse
in one package.  There's no special requirements needed, to the computer it
just looks like a normal old keyboard and mouse.

How are you planning to get the video signal to all the far away computers
in the house?
